The woman said it was her husband who convinced her to work for the terrorists. The husband, Ivan Borozenny, is a former police officer in Crimea who flipped sides during the illegal annexation of the peninsula to become a Russian FSB agent.

On March 8, don't bring your women flowers! Bring freshly cut chevrons! Don't cut off ears, cut off the chevrons!"

However, despite such hatred for the "Kyiv junta", the woman was still willing to obtain a Ukrainian biometric passport allowing for a visa-free travel across the EU. "Let's say it opens up more opportunities, simplifies movements," Elina Borozenna explained, adding that many militants are willing to obtain such documents in government-controlled territories.
